What? I have never ever had a discussion in my life about tenths of celsius when discussing weather or thermostat. Nobody does that. The units are small enough to be used in majors.

Freezing is excellent point of reference when you think about what effects it has on our lives. When water freezes, roads get frozen. When water freezes, pipes might blow up. When temperature reaches 0 Fahrenheit, nothing happens. Everything is same as 1 fahrenheit, or -1 fahrenheit. Nothing has changed, it is completely arbitrary.

I wonder how it is secured, or could anyone with a big enough transmitter reprogram it at will...

Linux. Finland.

Wouldn't have been created without the free universal education that provided Torvalds the free access to university's licenses and hardware.

One hit wonder as a director. And that hit is American Graffiti, not Star Wars.

With 12 generations, that would apply to pretty much everyone. It would be a statistical anomaly for anyone living today to have the full set of 4094 individual ancestors.

It was also about slavery, at least partially. Abolitionism in the Empire was on the rise, and the colonies were afraid that the crown would abolish it empire-wide. Back in england they had ruled in 1772 that English law did not recognize slavery, so the threat to the american slave owners was very real. The so-called representative government they created was made to continue slavery and oppose abolitionism.

Women were not allowed to vote in some parts of Switzerland before 1990.

Juu, vaikuttaa siltä että Kokoomuksessa monet ovat valmiita taipumaan ihan mihin tahansa kunhan tietyt jutut saadaan läpi. Sinänsä sinisilmäinen lähestymistapa, koska mitään takeita ei ole että sitten tosipaikan tullen Persut äänestävät sovitusti. Edellisessäkin hallituksessa pyöri muuan puolue joka sai kaiken mitä vaati, ja venkoili silti vastaan.

RKP mietityttää kyllä kanssa. Tulikohan sen taustalla vaikuttavien säätiöiden taustaporhoilta mahtikäsky että pitäkää hallitus kasassa niin kauan että työmarkkinoiden muutokset saadaan läpi.

Well, the guy is technically right that the gas chambers in Auschwitz today are fake - because they are replicas. None of the original chambers and crematories survived the liberation of the camp, so they were rebuilt for the museum based on the designs and blueprints the nazis had in their extensive document archive.

Why base 12 though? Base 16 is even better. And base 60 is even better than that!

He is typing the letter A, but the comment he leaves has no letter A. This comic is shit.

Tätähän on tavallaan jatkunut jo jonkin aikaa. Oikeuskansleri sai esimerkiksi osakseen paljon kritiikkiä kun hän oli mukana torppaamassa korona-rajoitusten pahimpia ylilyöntejä, esimerkiksi Uudenmaan sulku loppui samantien kun oikeuskansleri antoi asiasta lausuntonsa. Hän sai myös paljon kritiikkiä siitä, että haukkui Sanna Marinin hallituksen lainvalmistelun maanrakoon.

Se mikä näissä kriiseissä on tullut selväksi on karu totuus siitä että säädetyt lait eivät taivu kriisinhallintaan sillä tavoin kuin lainsäätäjä haluaa ja olettaa. Ja sekös sitten harmittaa kun joku tuleekin ja toteaa että laitonta on.

Remember Chamberlain? He made his allies submit to german concessions because that would maintain peace. Fast forward five years and we had 40+ million more dead Europeans and the continent bombed to rubble.

If you have to pay for your imprisonment, you should also be able to pick the institution. Check La Catedral for implementation.

Voipi tulla ihan mielenkiintoiset vaalit kuitenkin. Kyllä Haavisto todennäköisesti voittaa, mutta toiselle kierrokselle on tunkua. Itse veikkaisin että Haaviston lisäksi siellä on joko Stubb tai Halla-aho. Muilla ei ole loppujen lopuksi mahdollisuuksia

Jos ja kun Jutta Urpilainen on SDP:n ehdokas, voidaan siellä unohtaa toinen kierros. Jos Sanna Marin sekoaisi ja lähtisi ehdolle, niin sitten tilanne olisi tyystin eri. Mutta kukaan muu puolueessa ei pääse kolkuttelemaan toisen kierroksen ovia.

Olli Rehn oli aiemmin suosikki, mutta Mika Aaltola syö samasta äänestäjälaarista siitä huolimatta että ehdokkaiden profiilit ovat hyvinkin erilaisia.

It's not harassment, it's protocol. Starfleet has seen enough evil doppelgangers ranging from transporter accidents to mirror universes that there is a policy that forbids them from working for Starfleet. Fake-Kim is not a Starfleet officer, but an auxiliary officer like Neelix and Seven, which is why he is never promoted.

Within another 5~10 years I doubt most people will be able to distinguish it from something a real person created at all.

Maybe, or maybe not. The issue with machine learning software is that despite what they are marketed as, there is zero intelligence in them. They basically work via trial and error, and to know they have errored they must have references. And with an increasing number of generated content flooding the internet, differentiating the real reference material from generated material will be difficult, as in not cost effective. So we will end up with generated content teaching the model to generate content, and the progress we have seen will be effectively halted.

He titled himself as the chief engineer of SpaceX. And this is no joke.

Isn't Hanukkah more comparable to something like Pentecost in importance instead of Christmas? Meaning, not important at all to most of the modern day practioners. And the only reason why it is brought up so much is because it happens to somewhat coincide with Christmas so people can be inclusive with their happy holiday wishes.

Well at least here in Finland, where we also have conscription, you go to a normal prison and serve six months (or at least it used to be 6months, the same as the shortest conscription time).

That hasn't been the case for ages in Finland. These days you get 6 months of "house arrest" if you refuse conscription. Electronic tagging that is. You are allowed to leave your house to go to the grocery store, to work or to study etc at predetermined and agreed upon times.
